Any tips on preventing migraine?

YES, I used to have migraines all the time, later I found out how to get rid of them. I drank coffee, maybe a couple of cups, I ate some form of sugar, a candy bar. and maybe some aspirin or Ibuprofen This needs to be done, before you reach the state of nausea or vomiting.Usually that will take care of the migraine. when the headache goes away then eat something.like a sandwich with some form of protein, milk or juice. Its a good idea to take your blood pressure, at the same time. If the migraines reoccur, see the doctor, to rule out brain tumors, low blood sugar or high blood pressure.

Hi, i get very bad migraines. Most of the time, i feel them coming on. As the years go by dealing with them, you know them like your best friend.Stay away from bright lights, especially fluro lights. Where very good sunglasses outside. squinting to much tends to set them off.If you are a big coffee drinker, then cut down a bit. On the other side of it - if you are trying to quit coffee, don't do it cold turkey - that will set a migraine off.Try rubbing peppermint oil, on your forehead, between the eyes and your temples. It does work.My favourite - the boiling hot shower! Let that hot water run on your head and neck, for at least 20 mins. Just relax and enjoy.

I fully agree with skellie. I too suffer from migraine headaches, and I use the same methods. Instead of peppermint oil, I use Vicks vaporub at the onset of a migraine, followed by hot water shower.
